  5. I'm really concerned about my pinky finger. A few days ago, it got really itchy, and I noticed a bubble-like thing on it. I popped it with a needle yesterday, and now it's gotten worse. It's slightly itchy, it hurts, and my finger seems swollen today. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
